CALENDAR.

I Application filed September Be it known that I, THOMAS G. PENN,

- citizen of the United States, residing at Chioago, in the county ofCook and State of Illinois, have invented new and useful Ini provementsin Calendars, ofwhich the following is 'asp ecification. 1 Thisinvention relates to calendars and more particularly to acalendar-designed for mounting upon lead pencils, an obj eet of theinvention being to provide a practical, novel construction of calendardevice which may be easily operated so as to enable the user to readilydetermine the date of the inonth, week and year. r 1

Another object of this invention is to pro.- vide a calendar structureas specified which embodies a plurality of independently adjustablemembers to permit adjustment for showing dates anddays.

Other objects of the invention will appear in the following detailed"description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing whereinFig. 1 is a side elevation of the improved calendar structure showing itapplied.

Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the calendar structure showing a differentpart from that illustrated in Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a side elevation showing the number carrying member of thecalendar structure.

Fig. 4c is a cross section on the line 4'- of Fig. 1.

Fig. 5 is a longitudinal section through the calendar structure.

Fig. 6 is a fragmentary longitudinal section through the calendar takenat a different point from the section shown in Fig. 5.

Fig. 7 is a side elevation of one of the plates embodied in the calendarstructure.

Fig. 8 is a side elevation of the month carrying plate of the calendarstructure.

Referring more particularly to the drawings, the improved calendarstructure is adapted for mounting upon a pencil 1 or analogous structureand it comprises a sheet 2 of paper which has the-numbers 1 to O printedthereon as shown at 3. A relatively thin metal sleeve l is mounted overthenumber carrying paper 2 and is provided with openings 5 to permit theexhibiting of the numbers. The plate 4; serves as a protector for thepaper to prevent mutilation thereof in the adjustment of the other partsof the 1, 1923. Serial N'o. 660,560.

calendar structure, to be hereinafter more specifically described. Y

A sleeve 6 is "rotatably mounted/about the sleeve 4 and in spacedrelation thereto so asto permit various slides 7, 8 and 9m be positionedbetween the sleeves 4 and .6.

Theslide 7 has the days of thefweek printed thereon asshownat 10 whilethe slide 8' has. the months of the year printed thereon as shown at 11.Each oftheslides 7 and 8 hasan car 12 formed thereon which extendsthrougha slot'13 in the sleeve 6and through .2

afslot 14 in "an outer sleeve '15 .Thesleeves 6. and 15 are providedwith transversely extending slots 17 and 18 through whichIthe,

names, of, the days of theweekand of the months of the year-arevisible,respectively as indicated in Fig. 1 of the drawings. By slidingthe plates 7 and 8-, through the mediumof the ears 12 the calendar maybe adjusted to properly; show'the day of. the week and the'month of theyear. I

The slide 9 has the numbers, 1 and 2 printed thereon as shown at 19 inFig. 1

of the drawings and it is slidable behind an opening 20in the sleeve 15.The sleeves 6 and 15 are provided with aligning openings 22 which areadapted to align with anyone of the openings 5 to permit the exhibitionof anyone of the numbers 3 .on the paper 2 for indicating the day of themonth. During the first nine days of the month, both the numbers 1 and 2on the slide 9 are hidden by the outer sleeve 15, however, when thetenth of the month is reached the numher 1 on the slide 9 is moved intoexhibiting position through the opening 20 and is maintained in thisposition until the twentieth of the month is reached when the number 2is moved into exhibiting position.

hibiting position relative to the opening 21.

From this it will be apparent that after the tenthof the month has beenreached in oper-' ating the device, the proper numerals for indicatingthe days may be brought into registering position before the openingsThe sleeves 15 and 6 are rotatable and 21. The plates 7, 8 and 9 rotatewith the sleeves 6 and 15 owing to the connection of the sleeves andplates through the medium of the cars 12. The plate 9 has a transverselyextending ear 27 formed thereon to facilitate its adjustment.

It is, of course, to be understood that the invention may be constructedin other man ners and the parts associated in different relations and,therefore, I do not desire to be limited in'any manner except as setforth in the claims hereunto appended.

Having thus described my invention what I claim is:

1. A calendar attachment for pencils comprising, a pencil carried numberbearing member, a protecting sleeve mounted over said member, an outersleeve rotatable relative to said protecting sleeve and provided with anopening to permit exhibition of the numbers on said member therethrough,said outer sleeve having an additional opening in alignment with thefirst'opening, a plate mounted for sliding movement relative to theouter sleeve having numbers thereon to be exhibited thru the additionalopening at predetermined times, day and month indicating plates slidablysupported inwardly of said outer sleeve and said outer sleeve havingopenings to ermit the exhibiting of the names of the ays and monthstherethrough.

2. A calendar attachment for pencils comprising, a pencil carried numberbearing member, a protecting sleeve mounted over said member, an outersleeve rotatable relative to said protecting sleeve and provided with anopening to permit exhibition of the numbers on said member therethrough,an additional opening in alignment with the first opening, a platemounted for sliding movement relative to the outer sleeve having numbersthereon to be exhibited thru the additional opening at predetern'iinedtimes, day and month indicating plates slidably supported inwardly ofsaid outer sleeve, said outer sleeve provided with openings to permitthe exhibiting of the names of the days and months therethrough, saidouter sleeve provided with longitudinally extending slots, ears formedon said last men tioned slidable plates and protruding through saidslots for connecting the plates for rotary movement with the outersleeve and to permit adjustment of the plates longitudinally relative tothe outer sleeve.

In testimony whereofI aflix my signature.

THOMAS G. PENN.
